Treatment at the Back Institute is based on each individual's specific requirements. Generally patients are progressed through three stages. Stage one focuses on improved pain control. Once this is achieved clients progress into the final 2 stages with a focus on improved flexibility and strength.
Physiotherapy TreatmentAll patients are treated in private individual treatment rooms. Initial treatment tends to focus on teaching clients independent pain control strategies. Manual, mechanical and manipulative therapy techniques may help to restore spinal mobility and relieve pain.
